Improving the Effective Receptive Field of Message-Passing Neural Networks

ICML 2025poster

Message-Passing Neural Networks (MPNNs) have become a cornerstone for processing and analyzing graph-structured data. However, their effectiveness is often hindered by phenomena such as over-squashing, where long-range dependencies or interactions are inadequately captured and expressed in the MPNN…

TimePoint: Accelerated Time Series Alignment via Self-Supervised Keypoint and Descriptor Learning

ICML 2025poster

Fast and scalable alignment of time series is a fundamental challenge in many domains. The standard solution, Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), struggles with poor scalability and sensitivity to noise. We introduce TimePoint, a self-supervised method that dramatically accelerates DTW-based alignment while…

SpaceJAM: a Lightweight and Regularization-free Method for Fast Joint Alignment of Images

ECCV 2024poster

"The unsupervised task of Joint Alignment (JA) of images is beset by challenges such as high complexity, geometric distortions, and convergence to poor local or even global optima. Although Vision Transformers (ViT) have recently provided valuable features for JA, they fall short of fully addressing…

Wavelet Feature Maps Compression for Image-to-Image CNNs

NeurIPS 2022accept

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are known for requiring extensive computational resources, and quantization is among the best and most common methods for compressing them. While aggressive quantization (i.e., less than 4-bits) performs well for classification, it may cause severe performance de…
